Indeed. Looking bleak isnt it ?I bet Ricky,Sykesey and Worrincy will each have a decent game.Still at least I`ll enjoy the friday crawl round the M25. Hopefully the U20`s will put a smile on our faces versus their Bulls counterpartsin the warm up fixture.

Hmm. Seems it's 'half go for the play-offs, half blood some young 'uns' for the rest of the season.

I'm not sure there is much of a decision to take to be honest, if we don't give the kids a go who do we play? They've not let us down when asked to do a job, and to be fair, seeing the improvement in young players is (almost?) as good as seeing a win. I'm expecting big games from the returning former Quins too, they may be the ones to swing the result our way.

The one minor surprise for me, unless he's injured, is not including Southernwood, as he's not done anything wrong.

He hasn't has he, maybe this might be an indication of McNamara taking things a bit serious, but then you see Worrincy in the side and think nope he isn't.

I'd expect probably Godwin to start at 9 with L'Estrange at seven, though to be fair there is nothing wrong with your permutation. Addy should get his chance in the halves imo, though maybe not from the kick off. It all tends to become a bit fluid anyway after the kick off as to who plays where on the field, with wingers moving into centre on defence, and who plays acting half etc. Addy could play more at acting half on attack with L'Estrange taking the hooker's defensive role, if you get my drift. Of course it might be the other way round but I think I'm in danger of confusing myself at the mo so I'll stop whilst I'm ahead........

Yet again the Quins target floating Soccer and Rugby Union fans. See this from an e-mail to the Union ST Holders burgled from their website.

Quins RL vs Bradford Bulls

On Friday 9th July, Quins RL will be playing their only Friday evening fixture this season and with the barmy weather that we've been experiencing, it would be a great opportunity to sample 'Summer Rugby'. As a Union Season Ticket holder you are able to get tickets for this match for £10 (£5 for Under 16s).

Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Ticket Office on 0871 527 1315 and quoting 'RU ST Offer' or you can buy them online. When buying onlien please log in first, and then you can change the category in the shopping basket to 'RL Offer'

When will they ever learn that Soccer fans and Union fans always revert back to their primary sport when its in season and that the club has no future unless it convinces approx 5,000 Southerners to adopt League as at least one of their Primary Sports.And it does not matter how you market the product if the product - Quins RL - is cack as results at Home suggest..

I am shocked at the refusal of the British media to be fair and accept the people‚Äôs final decision just because the result of the referendum did not benefit the establishment.

It was a shock to hear how the BBC persistently denigrated everyone who voted to Leave.

They have managed to accuse, judge and convict the majority as racist, drunk and irresponsible.

On the other hand I did not hear the BBC question the decision of Remain voters.

It just goes to show how the BBC, like Sky News and Fox News, did not really tell us the news, but tried to influence us with their opinions, which goes against the moral duty of the news networks.

No, mate I'm not, though I think my team talks would be brilliant!! Really just pointing out that 'named' positions on the team sheet aren't necessarily a guide to where they'll line up during the game. Of course you could be right and they're just confused.

For sure; nice ground, good atmosphere, usually (win or lose) a good game. What more could we want?

On this occasion maybe not having to set off at 12:00 Friday and then returning home around 03:30 would be better, most people still have jobs to go to (at the moment anyway ), even though Quins fans have this problem far more often than us 'up North', it's going to put a lot off going today I'm afraid.

To be honest mate I think it's a no brainer that Quins will target sports fans; that 's what every club does, when you think about it. There is no great swathe of RL fans to attract to the Stoop, there aren't that many in the whole south of England. They have a whole database of union fans so it's an obvious target, and whether they revert as you call it, or maybe only go to RL again occasionally, it's a gain. If they never go again but leave with some grudging respect for the game, that in itself is a gain.

As for soccer, there are many soccer/rugby league fans who follow two teams. Some might be primarily soccer fans and some might be mainly rugby fans. There are many who have a great personal/family crisis every time fixtures clash. All in all, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that there is much in RL which a soccer fan will find good to watch. For me it's a good call by Quins, and their recent poor run of form has nothing whatever to do with it. They seem a soundly set up club and something as transitory as 'form' won't change that.

Yes its a pain all round really. That said to be fair to Quins Rl its understandable while they are trialling this fridayfixture as we dont exactly have them hanging from the rafters saturday or sundays. I would normally allow 90 minsdriving at least, but today will leave at 4. I would perhaps have done my usual 4 hour round trip on the train, but as I am up early to drive to Cardiff in the morning want the guarantee getting home at a reasonable time.

I'm leaving at 13:00, should be a nice trip down with the weather as it is.
